That's really just the disappointing part is it leaves an important agency leaderless for a bit.
Oh, man, every two days, probably.
Every 48 hours, they're probably launching a Falcon 9.
And, I mean, what's NASA doing?
So...
NASA's huge, and they're doing a lot of things.
Some are really important, why the agency was created in the first place.
And then they're doing a lot of little things that I would say were not necessarily why the agency was created and can be somewhat of a distraction.
I mean, there's 40,000 people, you know, between contractors and employees at NASA across 10 major centers.
And in my mind, you know, the agency, again, should be doing the near impossible what no one else in the world, no other organization or company is capable of doing.
Like the true...
radical cutting-edge things in space and in our atmosphere from a human exploration and a scientific discovery and trying to usher in the orbital economy.
Like they should have two or three really big things that need to be solved in this incredibly important domain.
And I'd say that their budget is split across like thousands of things that kind of make it hard to do any of those things.
That they are doing?
I mean, planetary science, for sure.
So, look, all the things they're doing are directionally correct.
How well are they doing it, right?
Is Hubble and James Webb Space Telescope awesome?
Absolutely.
